Event Description
I had lasik done 6 months ago.The outcome has changed my life forever.I now have terrible night vision, which now includes huge starburst and glare.My eyes really aren't dry, so i guess i dodged that bullet.The worst thing about it is that fixing my night vision problems would now require a hard rigid lenses designed custom made for my eyes, which may not even fix my problems.Before i had perfect vision with contact lenses.What a terrible mistake i have made.I am only (b)(6) and now for the rest of my life i have to right this devastating condition.Why is lasik even legal, why was i not told directly by the doctors that my large pupil would cause poor night vision.I would give every dime to my name to get my old crappy eyes back that were fixed perfectly with contact lenses.I have considered suicide on several occasions.I have never ever been suicidal my entire life.I am now on antidepressants which i know is the only reason i am here today explaining my struggle.I can no longer enjoy my night outs with my friends, i can't go anywhere at night without a horrible headache from trying to see.I pray and pray that they will find a way to cure this condition.Please shut down lasik.
